Warms quickly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this kettle! It boils a full pot of water in about 20 minutes! You can set it for different temperatures, and it gives suggestions on what that temperature of water would be good for. I.E. coffee, white tea, etc. It keeps water warm for those who like to drink hot tea. It was easy to clean and the directions are easy to follow. My one complaint is that the "whistle" isn't loud enough. So I don't always hear it if I'm in the next room.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best kettle ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to pour over tea bags for iced tea and for hot chocolate. It worked great. It boiled the water faster than when I put the tea bags in a container in my microwave. The lady of the house is a big hot tea drinker and she loves the kettle. The different temperature settings are a great additional feature, one she will take advantage of for her different teas.

Electric Kettle Convert!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't sure a person needed an electric kettle. In fact, I don't even own a stovetop kettle. I've always heated water in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove. It turns out this kettle is pretty handy! It heats super fast and without me having to babysit it the way I do with the stovetop. As an added bonus, there are no worries about that dangerous superheated boil microwaved water can have when the surface is still, but when the hot cocoa touches it violently reacts and blows all over. With just the press of a button this kettle heats the water to the exact temp you select. The automatic turn off feature means no worries over boiling dry either...one less thing for this mom to be worrying about. If you have a family of more than a couple people, you'll appreciate being able to heat water for everyone's hot cocoa or instant cider safely, and all at once. My older school age kids can easily use this kettle too. Ramen soup and instant oatmeal are simple once you teach them how to use the kettle properly. Be sure to instruct users to push down on the safety press spot on the top when closing the lid. That spot could stand to be a bit larger, but it shouldn't be a problem if you're careful to point out the importance of this in the beginning. The inside of the kettle is smooth and has no exposed element, making it easy to clean. I'll close by mentioning that the kettle is quite stylish looking. My kitchen appliances are in black stainless and the kettle fits right in. It looks upscale enough that I won't need to hide it away in a cabinet. The blue LED glow of the water fill window is a nice touch too. It makes it easy to see exactly how much water you're boiling and when you've got the kettle properly seated on the base. I like this thing!

Temperature Options

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like temperature options available. I use my kettle mostly for teas. Temperature can make a huge difference with taste/flavor. The settings are easy to understand. The kettle looks professional so I don't mind keeping it on my counter. The body does get hot, only use the handle after heating.

Multiple temperatures quickly heat a perfect cup

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I turn this kettle every morning before I get into the shower so it's ready when I return to the dressing room. It's a small little luxury I have really come to enjoy. Black, red & white tea are my favorites to brew and the variable temperature controls make preparing these teas perfectly effortless. To program the type of tea you would like to prepare press the up/down arrows until it highlights the tea you want. Heat-up is super quick. The ability to remove the kettle from the base without the cord being attached to the kettle is a super convenient feature. I've always used a kettle on the stovetop on high with any tea flavor but it really does make a major improvement in the flavor of the tea when it's heated to the optimal temperature. The look if the kettle is a brushed softback stainless steel with a clear viewing window at the back of the kettle that is lighted blue. I would give this as a gift for the holidays because the price point is fair and its the type of gift you always think about giving yourself.

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of those things that you don't think you need, but I am here to tell you that you do. This is so much better than your average stove kettle. If those are too full they make a mess of your stove when they start to boil. The water is dangerously hot and it is hard to get the water just right. This thing is the best thing that has ever happened to hot chocolate. It gets it to the perfect temperature without it being too hot. You tell it how hot you want it and it gets it just right. It is so easy to use and clean. It also looks great out my counter. I love the color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Hamilton Beach electric kettle is great quality. The design is sleek and modern. I have used this several times for tea, hot cocoa, instant soups and such and it performs perfectly every time. It will boil your water within minutes and the water will stay hot for some time after! It is easy to clean upon first use, you just have to boil the water a few times and dump and it’s clean and ready to use. It is very convenient and a great product if you don’t have the time to wait for a stovetop kettle to boil!
